What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Mockbeggar
There is no fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.

How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you serve the food?

What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
